Technology plays a major role in the beauty and wellness industry, and few developments are more exciting than red light therapy, a treatment that improves skin’s texture and appearance and can even help reduce pain. Spa TAN in Chesterfield and St. Peters, MO, offers this cutting-edge treatment to compliment their indoor tanning services, so you can have healthy, beautiful skin. Here, they explain how this technology works and how it will help you.

What Is Red Light Therapy?

Sometimes known as biostimulation or photorejuvenation, this treatment uses thin beams of low-level light to energize the skin, improve blood flow, and promote tissue recovery. It targets similar places on the body to acupuncture and produces comparable effects.

Red light therapy is administered by directing a special light source at the area you want to treat, such as a patch of skin or a sore joint or muscle. Some people also seek full-body treatments in therapy beds; this equipment resembles a traditional tanning bed but provides a deeper level of UV therapy.

Why Do People Use It?

People undergo red light therapy for a variety of reasons, from minimizing the signs of aging to reducing the appearance of blemishes and scars. By stimulating collagen production and cell renewal, the light’s low-frequency wavelengths treat wrinkles and fine lines while improving skin’s overall look and texture. Individuals with conditions like psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema may experience clearer skin after a few sessions because the tissue is better equipped to fight inflammation.

Some people even use red light therapy for pain relief. The FDA has approved this technology as a way to treat chronic joint pain for people with rheumatoid arthritis or similar tissue degeneration. Brief therapeutic sessions in the morning can help decrease soreness and make it easier to start the day with fewer aches and pains.

Red light therapy is safe and effective, making it suitable for a wide range of tanning salon clients. Use it to perfect your skin before a big date or reduce the discomfort of yesterday’s workout. Call Spa TAN at (636) 536-1400 or visit their website to schedule an appointment today.
